Find the directory with the application you wish to
install. Change to that directory and type "make install". If all
goes well, then the ports system will automatically
download the necessary files from the internet, compile the sources, and
install the
application.

We have created a complete x86 package set to make life a little easier.
Use "pkg_add -f URL" to install them. Be sure to read the package
installation instructions (skip to step 4), but return to this page for the
actual packages.
In the case of the packages, there is still a small issue with
the x86 suffix, but the porting system is unaffected by this bug.

If you would like to install basic GNU-Darwin functionality, then download
and execute this file. The basic installation is
also available from the giant file
server list. Just scroll down to 3.x86-Base Install.

Columbia was the first reusable spacecraft, here depicted in its second launch.
Similarly, the GNU-Darwin code base appears to be reusable for a variety of
applications. For example, we recently released ports tarballs for GNU/Linux
and Tru64
Alpha. Now, we are finally bringing GNU-Darwin to the Darwin-x86
architecture, with little or no modification to our essential files.
GNU-Darwin-x86 is GNU-Darwin itself, our second launch.
